Twine Mimetic Response KA

Beth has no idea what she wants to study in college or do afterwards. She didn't know what she wanted to be when she grew up at six and she still doesn't now at eighteen. She wonders all the time what [[direction]] she should go in.

She needs to start really thinking about her major now that she is in college. Soon, it will be too late for her to change her mind! Beth has no idea what she wants to study and you have graciously offered to [[help!]]

Beth has always loved math! It is in her comfort zone, and finding the right answer always makes her feel sooo smart. So what can she do as a [[math major?]]

Ohhh, Beth has always been interested in science. Less so with the actual in-depth details and facts, but she really likes learning about nature! She wonders what she can do with a [[science degree]] that won't put her way in over her head.

Eh... you know that Beth does not like history... AT ALL. She doesn't even stop to think about it and says that she's leaning towards no here. And back to the [[options]] you go.

Since the only things Beth can draw are stick figures, you agree with her that she shouldn't go down that path. You both hurry to go to the other [[options]].

She could be a [[teacher]] or an [[accountant]]?

A [[doctor?]] A [[microbiologist?]]

A [[writer for a newspaper or magazine?]] An [[author?]] An [[editor?]] A [[publisher?]] [[...]]

Beth's face scrunches up and she shudders, saying "And be around germs?" You, having recognized the signs of her factitous disorder creep in when she twitches her nose, go back to the other [[science degree]] options.

This sounds very interesting and complicated. Beth takes the sharpie from you and crosses this off the list, but after a couple seconds [[rewrites]] it at the bottom.

After trying to watch a long doctumenary on soil health, Beth crosses it off her list again... this time for good. You are more than happy to go back to the other [[options]] after staring at dirt for the past two hours.

Beth thinks on it for a minute, then realizes she doesn't want to add and subtract somebody else's shopping expenses all day everyday while she sits in an office. She'd much rather be the one shopping. You watch as she takes a sharpie to cross it off the list. You go back to the [[options]].

Beth says she could get behind this... but first, she'll have to go back and rewatch for Carrie Bradshaw's style. You watch as she grabs a bright purple highlighter and draws flowers around this. But she still wants to explore the other options, so... [[english degree?]]

Everyone knows that Beth loves to read! She is excited about the fact that she could write the types of books she likes to read. You sigh when she stops paying attention to you and starts daydreaming of her life as an author... until she snaps out of it and lets you know it was because she had only gotten as far into the daydream to see that she would already knows what happens in all of her stories. Still, she uses her purple highlighter for this one. You roll your eyes and, before she can ask, go back to [[english degree?]]

Beth's eyes widen and she gasps- could she really spend her days getting paid to read books?! Wow, she tells you, and creates lavender swirls around this idea. This time it is her who goes back to [[english degree?]]

Beth tells you that the idea of being able to help aspiring authors reach their dreams is tempting. In a bold streak of purple, she highlights this, but you know the routine and turn back to [[english degree?]]

Suddenly, Beth jumps out of her chair and you look up at her in confusion. "I just had the best [[idea]]... I won't choose! I'll do them all!" She clasps her hands together and grins.

All of these options are closely related in the book world. You've known Beth long enought to know that she will have a hard time with figuring out how to [[choose between them]].

No thanks. [[math major?]]

Eh... [[maybe.]]

Beth relaxes after her non-decision decision, and you can't help but to smile because somehow, she has managed to get away without making any real [[decisions]].

You decide that you will bring up a subject she can study in college, then explore career options in that field. Beth is so grateful for your help! ... But you know that she is probably one of the most indecisive people you have ever met, so you're not sure how this is going to go. So what [[options]] do you bring up first for her to study?

[[math]] [[science]] [[history]] [[art]] [[english]]

Ohhhh.... Beth seems to really be interested in this subject. You try not to get your hopes up for her, but wonder if this could be the one? You hurry to tell Beth about what she could do with an [[english degree?]]
